What is KUA Design?

KUA Design is our approach to learning at Kimball Union Academy. Your unique experiences, interests, and abilities influence the way you learn and engage inside and outside the classroom, and tell us how best to support and inspire you. That’s why, from the day you arrive at KUA, it’s our mission to learn about you.

Using relationships as our foundation, we leverage everything we know about the science of learning and how the brain works to create intentional experiences and challenges that are appropriately designed for each student. As a result, you’ll find your voice, develop new knowledge, and strengthen your character through a robust academic curriculum.

This philosophy is infused throughout our environment. Learning transcends classroom walls; it occurs on a soccer field, on the stage, in an advisory group, over a shared meal, and throughout our residential programming. You’ll find that everyone here is highly invested in the intellectual and individual growth of our students. Our teachers engage you in all your pursuits, help you build confidence, and make education feel rewarding and satisfying.
